Performance Task w/ Rubric (3v3 Game Assessment) 

During my basketball unit planning, I created a 3v3 game performance task to assess students’ skills in dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense. Although I have not implemented it yet, developing and reviewing this assessment helped me better understand how to align instruction with assessment and evaluate student learning. It also allowed me to see the importance of using a rubric to measure skill development, teamwork, and overall performance. 

This artifact is important to me because it helped me understand how to effectively connect instruction with assessment. Creating the performance task and rubric allowed me to think more deeply about how students demonstrate learning in a physical education setting. It also helped me grow as a teacher by showing me the importance of planning meaningful assessments that measure both skill development and teamwork.

Standard 1: Demonstrate competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities.

This artifact is evidence of growth in this standard because the performance task focuses on students demonstrating fundamental basketball skills such as dribbling, passing, shooting, and defensive movement during gameplay. The rubric allows for evaluation of how well students perform these motor skills in an authentic setting.

Standard 2: Demonstrate understanding of movement concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics as they apply to the learning and performance of physical activities.

This artifact is evidence of growth in this standard because students are required to apply game strategies and make decisions during the 3v3 performance task. The assessment measures their ability to use spacing, passing, and movement concepts in real game situations.
